[SOLVED] Some daemons does not start

I have gpm and dbus installed, and they can be started manually,
but when I boot gpm does not start, and I get the message
:: Loading User-specified Modules   WARNING: Module dbus not found [FAIL]

Both are listed in DAEMONS in /etc/rc.conf

Please paste your rc.conf

Re: [SOLVED] Some daemons does not start

Isn't dbus just a service and not a module?  It should be in your DAEMONS array in rc.conf but I don't think it should be in your MODULES array...

Whoops, it is in both, how could I not see that (it even printed Module(s)).

Re: [SOLVED] Some daemons does not start

So gpm does not start, but dbus is ok.

My rc.conf file without comments:

LOCALE="en_GB.UTF-8"
DAEMON_LOCALE="no"
HARDWARECLOCK=UTC"
TIMEZONE="Europe/Stockholm"
KEYMAP="sv-latin1"
CONSOLEFONT="lat9w-16"
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"

MODULES=(fuse snd-pcm-oss)

UDEV_TIMEOUT=30
USEDMRAID="no"
USEBTRFS="no"
USELVM="no"

HOSTNAME="North"
interface=eth0
address=
netmask=
broadcast=
gateway=
NETWORK_PERSIST="no"

DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng @network gpm netfs crond dbus)

Move dbus to the front...

Does not help, and I have tried moving gpm to the end.
This order is identical to the one I had in my previous installation where
everything worked, with the only difference is that I have added @ to network.

You removed dbus from MODULES and you still get the same error?

The warning about dbus is resolved, but gpm does not start.

Re: [SOLVED] Some daemons does not start

Any error messages? Anything at all to go with? "Does not start" won't tell us much I'm afraid....

Running arch is like raising a puppy - if you spend a bit of time with it each day and do just a bit of training you'll end up with the most loyal partner you could want; if you lock it in a room and don't check on if for several days, it'll tear apart your stuff and poop everywhere.

Re: [SOLVED] Some daemons does not start

By the way, you really should have dbus early in your daemon array, as lots of stuff depends on it. In your case I would put it right before network.

Re: [SOLVED] Some daemons does not start

I've solved the issue by letting it start from the initscripts,
also my initscripts had apparently stopped working because they where no longer executable (permission flag).
